Precautions

This document provides guidelines for quick hardware installation.

This document does not describe assembly of equipment prior to delivery; it only describes procedures
for onsite installation.

CAUTION
Power Supply
The equipment uses a -48 V/-60 V DC power supply. An AC power supply or a high-voltage power
supply may cause equipment damage or even human injuries and therefore is forbidden.

Electrostatic Discharge
To prevent damage to sensitive components caused by electrostatic discharge, wear ESD gloves or an
ESD wrist strap when handling the equipment, boards, or IC chips. Ensure that the ESD wrist strap is
properly grounded.

OptiX RTN 905

ESD

Binding Cables
Bind fibers or cables inside a cabinet at intervals of not more than 250 mm and user cables at intervals of
not more than 200 mm.
Bind fibers, cables, or corrugated pipes outside a cabinet at intervals equal to the distance between two
horizontal beams. If the cable trough does not have any beams, the intervals should not exceed 250 mm.

Pre-installation Check
Before beginning the installation, check the equipment room, cabinet, power supply, ground cables,
fibers, and associated facilities to confirm that all preparations are complete.

2
Precautions for Handling Power Cables

Prior to installing power cables on the RTN 905e, confirm that the following conditions are met.

1 The ground point on the column of the cabinet or the indoor ground bar is properly grounded.

2 Ensure that the power cable is properly connected to the positive and negative terminals of the power
supply device.Install a circuit breaker on each negative terminal of the power supply device.
The recommended fuse capacity is 16 A. This prevents a power loop from being formed by connecting the
positive terminal of the RTN 905e power cable to the negative terminal of the power supply device
and therefore protects the power cable and power supply device.

3 The positive terminals of the power supply device connected to the RTN 905e are grounded. If terminals
are not properly grounded, the devices may be damaged.

1 Insert the power cables into the DC connector based on the pin assignment. You do not need to prepare the power cables on site if they were
prepared before delivery.

After fastening a cable, check whether the cable core is exposed outside the power cable connector terminal. If the
cable core is exposed, re-route the cable into the power cable connector. If the cable core is still exposed after you re-
route the cable, peel the cable again.
If the AC power box (ETP 4830) is used, the IDU needs to use the BGND power cable and -48 V power cable that are
delivered with the AC power box. For details on the AC power box and its cables, see the RTN 905e IDU hardware

 Aligning Antennas

1 Aligning Single-Polarized Antennas

Use the installation positions and heights of local and remote antennas to determine their azimuths. Adjust
the pitch angles of the antennas to the horizontal position.

Connect a multimeter to the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) port on the ODU at the local end and
measure the voltage value VBNC.

The red line of the multimeter is connected to the core of the RSSI port, and the black line is connected to the
ground pin.

Elevation adjustment screw

Level adjustment screw

Secure the remote antenna and loosen/tighten the level adjustment screw to turn antenna widely in the
horizontal direction.

If three signal peaks are tracked, adjust the azimuth of the antenna until the received signal level (RSL)
a reaches the peak value at position 2.

If two signal peaks are tracked, adjust the azimuth of the antenna until the RSL reaches the middle of
b positions 4 and 5. Then, adjust the pitch angle of the antenna using the elevation adjustment screw until
the three signal peaks on the line AA' appear. Finally, adjust the azimuth of the antenna until the RSL
reaches the peak value at position 2.

c If one signal peak is tracked, adjust the azimuth of the antenna until the RSL reaches the middle of
positions 6 and 7. Then, adjust the pitch angle of the antenna using the elevation adjustment screw until
the three signal peaks on the line AA' appear. Finally, adjust the azimuth of the antenna until the RSL
reaches the peak value at position 2.

Loosen/Tighten the elevation adjustment screw to turn the local antenna vertically. Adjust the pitch angle
until the RSL reaches the peak within the tracked range.

Repeat Steps 3 to 4 to ensure that three signal peaks are tracked both horizontally and vertically. When
the local RSL reaches the maximum peak value, secure the local antenna.

Adjust the remote antenna to ensure that the RSL at the local end and the RSL at the remote end reach
the peak value. Check that the ODU indicator on the IF board is off. If the ODU indicator on the IF board is
yellow and blinks every 300 ms, continue aligning the antennas.

Tighten all the screws on the antennas after the alignment is completed.

2 Aligning Dual-Polarized Antennas

If an OMT is used to connect the ODUs to the antenna in direct mount mode, the alignment procedure for these
antennas is the same as that for single-polarized antennas. If soft waveguides are used to connect the ODUs to
the antenna in separate mount mode, follow the procedure below to align the antennas.

Power off the vertically-polarized ODUs and power

on the horizontally-polarized ODUs at both ends of
a radio link. This ensures that the antennas at both
ends transmit horizontally polarized signals.

Adjust the azimuth and pitch angle of the antennas

at both ends by referring to the description in
"Aligning Single-Polarized Antennas." Ensure that
the main lobes of the horizontally-polarized signals
are aligned.

30
3 Use a multimeter to measure the RSL (P1) on the RSSI port of the horizontally-polarized ODU at the local end.

4 Power on the vertically-polarized ODU at the local end. Use a multimeter to measure the RSL on the RSSI port of
the vertically-polarized ODU. Release the holders of the feed boom and turn the feed boom gently until the RSL
reaches the minimum value (P2). The calculated XPD1 (XPD1 = P1 - P2) cannot be lower than 24 dB. Record the
current angle (D1) of the feed boom.

Power off the horizontally-polarized ODUs and power on the vertically-polarized ODUs at both ends of the radio
5 link. Adjust the azimuth and pitch angle of the antennas by referring to the description in "Aligning Single-
Polarized Antennas". Ensure that the main lobes of the vertically-polarized signals are aligned.

6 Refer to Steps 3 and 4 to ensure that the calculated XPD2 (XPD2 = P3 - P4) is higher than or equal to 24 dB.
Record the current angle (D2) of the feed boom.

7 Repeat Steps 1 to 6 to gently adjust the feed boom (ranging from D1 to D2), and ensure that XPD1 and XPD2 are
higher than or equal to 24 dB.

8 Tighten all the screws on the antennas after the alignment is completed.

Checking the Status of Radio Links

LINK indicator

Check the status of the LINK indicator on the front panel of the chassis.
a If the LINK indicator is on (green), the radio link is functioning properly.
If the LINK indicator is on (red), check whether the configuration data is correct. If the configuration data is
b incorrect, configure correct data.
If the LINK indicator blinks yellow at intervals of 300 ms, check whether the antennas are aligned properly. If the
c antennas are not aligned properly, realign the antennas.
If the LINK indicator is off, check whether the logical units of the IF unit and the ODU have been added on the
d NMS. If yes, check for a fault in the IF jumper, IF cable, or the ODU.

31
 Checking the Installation

No. What to Check For

1 The chassis is installed securely in the position specified in the engineering design documents. If the cabinet
door is closed, the door should not press against the chassis or any cables.

2 Chassis components have no paint spatters, damage, or stains.

Re-paint or clean components, as required.

3 Cable routes comply with the engineering design documents and facilitate maintenance and expansion.

4 Cables are not damaged, broken, or spliced together.

5 Cable cores have been tested for connectivity.

6 Cables are properly bound. Cable ties are installed at equal intervals and face in the same direction. Cable ties
have been trimmed after tying and there are no rough edges.

7 Signal cables are routed correctly in the cabinet.

8 Cables outside the cabinet are routed as follows:

•Cables are run neatly and are not cross-connected.
•If a cable ladder is used, the cables are bound onto the ladder beam neatly. If the cable tray extends 0.8 m or
more above the cabinet top, a cable ladder is installed to support the cables and ease stress.

9 Cable turns are smooth and have a large bending radius.

10 Cable labels are filled in correctly, attached securely, and are aligned to face in the same direction. Preferably,
labels are attached at least 2 cm away from connectors.

11 The power cable and ground cable are routed separately from signal cables.

12 Unused cable connectors are protected. For example, protective caps are installed on unused connectors.

13 Cable connectors are inserted securely and the screws on the connectors are tightened.

14 Corrugated pipes for fiber jumpers are inserted 10 cm into the cabinet and bound securely.

15 The cuts for jumpers on corrugated pipes are either smooth or have been wrapped with insulation tape.

16 Jumpers are bound gently to ensure free move in cable ties.

17 Connecting points of fiber jumpers are clean. Protective caps (plugs) are installed on unused fiber connectors
and optical ports.

19 The positive terminals of the power supply device connected to the RTN 905e are properly grounded.

20 The ground point on the column of the cabinet or the indoor ground bar is properly grounded.
